DTC C1222


id040200801500

Note
•  DTC C1222 will be detected when a malfunctioning ABS wheel-speed sensor cannot be specified.

DTC
C1222
ABS wheel-speed sensor (slip monitor) system
DETECTION CONDITION
•  Difference between any vehicle wheel speeds exceeds specification when driving at a constant speed.
•  ABS control operates for 60 s or more.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Excessive clearance between the ABS wheel-speed sensor and sensor rotor
•  ABS wheel-speed sensor malfunction (low output, metal shavings on sensor)
•  ABS sensor rotor malfunction (chipping of sensor rotor teeth)
•  Poor installation of ABS wheel-speed sensor and/or sensor rotor (If the sensor rotor is installed at an angle, it may cause output of abnormal wave pattern at high speeds.)

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
INSPECT PID FOR ABS WHEEL-SPEED SENSOR OUTPUT ERROR USING M-MDS
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
•  Select the following PIDs using the M-MDS:
WSPD_LF
WSPD_LR
WSPD_RF
WSPD_RR
•  Drive the vehicle.
•  Verify that the vehicle speeds detected by the four ABS wheel-speed sensors are approximately the same.
•  Are the vehicle speeds approximately the same?
Yes
Go to Step 4.
No
Go to the next step.
2
INSPECT IF MALFUNCTION OCCURRED DUE TO IMPROPER SENSOR CLEARANCE.
•  Inspect the clearance between the ABS wheel-speed sensor and the ABS sensor rotor.
•  Is the clearance normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the ABS wheel-speed sensor, then go to Step 4.
3
VISUALLY INSPECT ABS SENSOR ROTOR FOR FOREIGN MATERIAL ADHERING OR IMPROPER INSTALLATION
•  Is the result normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the front drive shaft, rear wheel hub component (2WD) or rear drive shaft (4WD), then go to the next step.
4
VERIFY THAT THE SAME DTC IS NOT PRESENT
•  Clear the DTC from the memory.
•  Start the engine and drive the vehicle at 10 km/h {6.2 mph} or more.
•  Are the same DTCs present?
Yes
Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
If the malfunction recurs, replace the DSC HU/CM, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
5
VERIFY THAT NO OTHER DTCS ARE PRESENT
•  Are any other DTCs output?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
